My sweet tooth was triggered by that darn Glucola drink, too! I usually have a big sweet tooth, but the pregnancy cured in until that dumb drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86728 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:55:40 +0000 betsyboop 86728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I too was fairly good about eating healthy until I found out I passed my GTT a couple weeks ago. After that, all I want to eat are candy, cookies, and all things sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86657 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:10:09 +0000 Bao 86657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 14 weeks and have not had much of an appetite but I'd rather be pigging out! I love food and wish I could eat more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86646 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:43:18 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 86646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have yet to gain weight, but I am not eating the healthiest of options, but it is so hard for me. Whatever appeals to me seems to be carbs. I hope after the first trimester, my normal appetite comes back and salads and veggies start to appeal to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86643 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:39:59 +0000 sorrycharlie 86643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only just finishing my first tri, but so far I'm not. I find that I get full really quick, though earlier on I was ravenous. I'm sure it'll change, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86637 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:18:36 +0000 winniebee 86637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of....I try to eat really healthy snacks throughout the day but I'm constantly hungry. I give into temptation much more frequently now, too, regrettably. At 28 weeks, I've gained about 16-17 pounds (I had gained 16 by 26 weeks, 4 days, but then lost a pound/stayed even for a week because of a stomach bug....) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86619 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:50:31 +0000 pastemoo 86619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. :( I'm gaining like I am, and I am eating a granola bar and maybe an extra apple more than normal, but no. And still with the weight gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-86611 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:02:24 +0000 mediagirl 86611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Sweets are killing me. I was looking at my knees today and realized, I've gained some weight in my legs for sure. I actually stepped on our home scale today and I think it's broken... It's an old analog one, could be broken, right? :-) Well, we'll see what the docs scale says on Thursday at my 26 week appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9544 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:40:33 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 9544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hungry all the time and I confess I give in to the bad foods a little too often. I had a doughnut for breakfast today, but I packed a salad for lunch, so it all balances out, right??? I'm actually terrified of getting gestational diabetes, but I love candy so much and with Halloween I have been eating a lot of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9525 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:26:51 +0000 cyndistar3 9525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so far... I have been too sick to eat a lot. I can barely eat anything without getting extremely nauseated :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9522 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:24:03 +0000 yin 9522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish! I had so many food aversions for most of my pregnancy, and I had almost no appetite. By the time I started getting the munchies, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Boo!! I didn't get to pig out like I wanted to. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9477 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 10:34:41 +0000 Navy_Mommy 9477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far (at 18 weeks) I actually don't have much of an appetite. I wouldn't be surprised if that changed later on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9474 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 10:27:46 +0000 mamabolt 9474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still in the first trimester but I'm doing ok so far. Last week and the beginning of this week I was so sick I was eating carbs round the clock! Luckily I'm on meds now and can eat normal food again, so I'm back to eating more balanced meals. I am enjoying my share of leftover Halloween candy though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9452 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:46:36 +0000 HLK208 9452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only in the first trimester so I'm sure I'll get worse but I've been so good lately, mostly because anything that sounds good is something crazy, that takes forever to cook or is at a restaurant an hour away. I've still managed to pack on the pounds.<br /> Last pregnancy, I ate everything in site (that was safe) and I just never stopped. Luckily I lost 55 pounds after delivering the LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9446 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:31:22 +0000 themcmom 9446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't go crazy until the end of my pregnancy. By end, I mean the last couple of days when Ben &amp; Jerry's and I were besties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9433 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:53:50 +0000 Mrsbells 9433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always thinking about food lately b ut when I was in the first tri I had days when I had no appetite at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9414 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:19:59 +0000 BananaPancakes 9414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always hungry, but can eat only a little at a time. I've just been grazing instead of eating real meals. I'm not eating terribly, but nothing looks appetizing, so I've been sticking with things like potatoes since they're bland. 15+ weeks and haven't gained anything yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-9259 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:04:57 +0000 chopsuey 9259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate like a cow. Gained 50+ pounds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2388 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:19:50 +0000 BabyBruins 2388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having a new experience this week (21 weeks) where I am constantly hungry. I will eat what i normally do and be starving again an hour later. Early in my pregnancy I felt like I wasn't very hungry and didn't feel like snacking, but that feeling has passed as of this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2245 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:50:46 +0000 Lindsay05 2245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok i'm only 5 weeks and i've been eating constantly. I am so hungry all.the.time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2241 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:45:15 +0000 MegWag 2241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been doing a good job of not going crazy, but to be fair it hasn't been that hard. I'm 18 weeks and have found that I'm just not as hungry as I was before I got pregnant. And sweets? Not interested. So bizarre! I actually lost around 10 pounds in my first trimester and I'd be surprised if I've gained it back yet. (I'm sure I will as time goes on though.) It does help that most of my cravings have been for American fast food that I can't get here in the UK... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2233 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:29:49 +0000 MaisyMay 2233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant, I was put on a dietary plan where I had to eat 6 times a day, very specific types of items (2 protein, 1 carb, 1 milk, etc) and I was never hungry! Hubs would come home from work and ask what I wanted for dinner and would get very grumpy replies from me. I just didn't want to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2225 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:37:51 +0000 Killer b 2225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason I lost a lot of my appetite while pregnant, yet somehow still gained 40 pounds! My one major vice was brownie dough (made with pasteurized Egg Beaters!) I probably indulged about once a week. I'd eat half then bake half, though the baked ones always got thrown away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2196 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:03:40 +0000 graciegrace2000 2196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! I'm not sure if it's because we're having girls Bee, but I'm with you on eating all the "bad" foods. With #1, I didn't crave anything bad but still gained 35 lbs. I'm hoping with #2 I'm be only up 25 lbs and I'm trying my best to not go crazy on food (there are times when I have 2 meals between lunch and dinner). :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-pigging-out-while-pregnant#post-2192 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:47:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so good during my first and second trimesters, but I have been pigging out in my third trimester! It's like my stomach is an endless pit of hungry and it wants sweeeeeets daily (and I'm not a sweets person). It also didn't help that a 5 guys opened down the street, and I ate a double cheeseburger with fries pretty much every day.</p> <p>I want to gain as little weight as possible since I only have less than 4 weeks left, but food is so hard to resist!</p> <p>Have you been pigging out too? </p>
